British raider Marsh Wren gave Stuart Edmunds and Wicklow-born Ciarán Gethings a first Irish success when recording a gutsy, all-the-way win in the listed Carey Glass Irish EBF Colreevy Mares Novice Chase in Thurles.
The eight-year-old dictated the pace, jumping for fun, and, having shaken off the attentions of favourite Harmonya Maker, dug deep on the run-in to hold the challenge of Law Ella by three quarters of a length, prompting Gethings to declare: “This is a good buzz, one off the bucket list."
